chapter 23
Kana tried to stay calm after the incident with Gojo but it sure was hard
She couldn't believe the sheer audacity he had to claim her as his In front of a room full of people, in her own clan house and in front of their students.
Now what will they think!?
After everything she was put through because of them, it was disgusting how he acted with her
She tried really hard to forget everything. It's the first time two of the students, Haibara and Yuji's came to her clan house. Plus she promised Sukuna she'll do everything in her power to make sure he's well respected in this world
She intended to keep her promise at all cost
So she gritted her teeth and let Gojo slide this time
She walked towards the clan residential area, holding one of Toji's and one Sukuna's hand. Sukuna looked grumpy and Toji looked bored.
As she stared at them, She didn't understand how she could like two people who are polar opposites of each other
Toji was well reserved (in her opinion) and Sukuna felt like a little grumpy, like a tsundere
Like he was trying so hard to maintain this facade that he didn't care about her when it was so clear he did. Because if he didn't, then why would he change his side of distraction and plan to massacre the world after so long
She saw how he was looking at her, she isn't stupid. She's the love piller for goodness sake! She knows how to read eyes really well
Thinking all of this, she didn't realize she was still staring at Sukuna. Not until he looked at her side, only to see her still ogling him.
She quickly looked away, her cheeks flushed cause of embarrassment when he raised his eyebrow at her
"O my kami-sama! He saw me look! How embarrassing! I wanna crawl in a hole and never come back.... Wait, I can't do that. Then what will happen to my babies!? Plan abort!"
She thought to herself, first embarrassed then confused and then pouting
Sukuna shook his head. This woman was truly something else
"MAMA!"
They heard a well, looking forward, Saki was still waiting for them on the courtyard
Kana's eyes lit up when her baby rushed towards her. Letting go of Toji and Sukuna's hands, she picked up her daughter when the little girl leeched herself on Kana's legs
"Did it work, mommy? Did it work? Is Yuji-nii out of danger now?"
The little girl asked in anticipation
She heard a loud chuckle, looking at who it came from, she smiled at her elder cousin. She looked back at Yuji, tilting her head in question
"It did little princess. You nii-chan is free now"
Yuji said, little tears gathering on the corner of his eyes
Saki's eyes lit up like bulb lights and she threw her hands high up the air
"Yay! Saki's nii-chan will be okay! Now he can get married!"
She cheered
Everyone did a double take at that. I mean, even Yuji looked confused. He understood she was happy and only a child, but where did the question for his marriage come from now?
As far as they knew, Yuji had a long way to go in the dating game. He didn't even have his first girlfriend, so where was the question of marriage coming from
"Yes! It's such a joyas news! We'll celebrate!"
Kana cheered but didn't say anything about the marriage part, didn't correct Saki either
"Umm, auntie, what is Saki-chan talking about I getting married?"
Yuji asked confusedly
Both of the mother daughter giggled
"I'll tell you later. I can't talk about your marriage here, now can I? Let's get to home first"
She joyfully exclaimed, further confusing the others
Saki's eyes finally landed on the man aside her mommy. She stared at Sukuna with great curiousity in her eyes
"Mommy, who's this?"
She asked, pointing at Sukuna
Her mom giggled and was about to give a response when suddenly Saki's eyes went wide. She went frantic as she pointed and accusing finger at Sukuna
"Omg! You look so much like Saki and Yuji-nii! Are you Saki's daddy!?"
Sukuna just deadpaned at her
Yuji slapped his hand on his face, tired of the antics of his lovely family. Kana just owlishly blinked at her
"Listen little brat, I ain't your father. I didn't have body to father you to begin with "
Sukuna said in a bored tone
"No baby, this is the person who was in your nii-san's body. The king of crurses, Ryomen Sukuna "
Saki stared at Sukuna in great interest before smirking
"Ha! Why were you holding my Mommy's hand!? You're also in love with Saki's Mommy! Ha! Simpkuna!"
She loudly said
Yuji slapped his hand on his face again and Kana sweat dropped, Toji just snorted with a chuckle
Sukuna had a irk mark on his face, glaring at the little girl heatedly. If looks could kill, she'd be dead on the floor now
"You little brat! I'll des-
"Calm down Sukuna. She's a child!"
Yuji said, holding him back
"Does it look like I care, brat!"
He snapped
"I apologize on her behalf, Sukuna-sama. She's still little and I've spoiled her quite a bit. I'll tell her to watch her tone around you"
Kana said with gentle smile
He glared at her for a second before tached and looking away. He really needed to do something about his heart
"Please excuse me for a bit... I'll just get changed and come back. Please follow our kakushi, they'll take you to the clan main house"
Kana said as she left with one of the kakushi and her daughter.
So now Sukuna, Toji, Yuji, Megumi, Yuta, Gojo, Geto, Nanami and Haibara were left with the kakushi
"Please follow us our lords. "
The kakushi said bowing Infront of Yuji, Yuta and Megumi
Their eyes slightly widened, especially Megumi and Yuta's. They never been shown this much respect before and Yuji just still wasn't used to this kind of treatment yet
" You do need to bow Infront of us, raise your head"
Megumi quickly said
They did but gave Megumi a confused look
"But why my lord?"
Then she looked at the kakushi beside her and asked
"Weren't we told this this is Kanroji-sama's soon-to-be stepson?"
Megumi's eyes almost popped out of his skull, just like his foster father's. Toji's smirk tunred into a full brown Cheshire cat grin hearing that
The other kakushi nodded
"Yes. And also that the boy in the white uniform is young lady Kanroji's future husband "
Now it was Yuta's turn to look completely astonished. Poor baby was having a miniature panic attack
Because, they really took Saki's words that seriously? He always just laughed it off thinking it was a silly crush, he didn't even expect in his wildest dreams that the clan would already be treating him like the son-in-law of the house
"Wait a damn minute -
Yuji started, trying to defuse the situation but before that
"Why are you still standing here? Didn't I tell all of you to get inside "
Kana said, coming out of the clan house. She was wearing black and green dress
Three green clips on her already styled hair. Her hair was styled in two braids this time unlike the usual three. She looked so beautiful that even Yuji took a few minutes to appreciate her beauty before sighing
This is his aunt... It was pretty unbelievable to him still
"Um Kanroji-sama, we just told them they were your soon-to-be stepson and young lady Kanroji's future husband. They looked like they were in Somekind of great denial"
She nodded before ushering them to c
Follow her
While they were reaching the house where Saki was waiting for them, Yuta asked
"Um Kanroji sensei"
She looked back with a smile, still holding hands with Toji
"You know.... What was that about me being Saki-chan's future husband?"
She just giggled at the young boy
"Well Yuta-kun, my baby loves you. So she told the elders that if she ever married, it'll be with you or else she won't marry at all. So that's where it came from"
Yuta just nervously chuckled
"U-um so it's just a play right? "
She looked back at the young boy with a confused look
"No... The elders were seriously contemplating on talking with the Gojo clan head and elders to plan a engagement"
By the time she was done talking, Megumi, Yuta and Yuji looked horrified
"B-but she's so young -
"I know. It's so cute! Don't you think? You can be her childhood sweet heart "
She joyfully exclaimed
"N-not that... She's so young. She doesn't even know what a relationship is...
"Dear child, I'm not telling you to marry her now. I'm just saying you to get engaged. Nothing more, and when my Saki is 16, if you like, you can be with her. Now one is forcing you for anything, little one"
Yuta's shoulder sagged with relief, although he still found it a bit concerning. But his teacher's calming smile and voice really put his heart at ease
"But I'm still 10 years older than her. Don't you think I'm too old for her?"
He asked curiously, making her pause
She looked back at the young boy before looking back at the people who were following her
She eyed Gojo, Toji, Geto, Nanami and Sukuna, essentially all the guys she ever had a crush on before giggling
"Actually, you're 9 years older than her... And as far as the age in question, I can't really blame her. She got that from me. I don't remember liking any guy younger or even my age before.... They're always older"
Yuta and Yuji deadpaned while Toji snorted
She looked back at Yuta before, patting his head
"Don't worry, there always comes a time in one's life when guys like younger girls more and girls like older guys more... You'll get time too"
She said and skipped away, leeching herself on Toji's arm as if she didn't just said what she did. All while Yuji and Yuta gaped at her like a pufferfish
The day went away like this. Having fun and being happy as ever
Saki enjoyed the most of her time with Yuta and Yuji while her mom spent most her time making Toji and Sukuna feel welcomed in the clan. She even brought the elders in the matter and introduced Toji and Sukuna
They talked and she squeezed their hands from time to time, showing them an encouraging smile, creating opportunities for them to have a conversation with the important elders
Toji was glad. He never thought she was so serious about him that she'll even introduce him and Megumi to the clan elders
Sukuna on the other hand, Although acted like he didn't care and was rude to most people, he was very overwhelmed how welcoming they were. And although he hated to admit it, he was really impressed how Kana was so patient with him
Everytime he made a rude comment that would eventually make people dislike him, she'll just tug on his hand. Looking at him with those big doe eyes of hers, a silent request to be polite. Or correct his conversation and continue herself
Sukuna decided, She looked cute... Something he never before thought in all his ancient life
This was completely ridiculous!
He was almost sure this woman did somekind of witchcraft on him
All while she was having the time of her life, Gojo, Geto and Nanami were left to watch the girl they loved play family with two men
.

.
.
At late night
Everyone left in the evening
Sukuna sat on the patio, watching the lake outside the house. Since no one was around, he came to his full form, four arm and all
He sighed when he heard the mother and daughter duo, Kana and Saki whisper something to each other for the 10th time in the past minute
They were sitting on the floor of the same room but a little far from him. He didn't know what they were doing or why they felt like it was a good idea to follow him around like this
"Sukuna-sama?"
Kana called in a soft voice, making the huge curse sigh
He looked back at her
"Why are you here with your child, woman? Do you not fear for your life"
He asked with a glare
She srunk more into herself, bringing her child closer. Trying mimic the look of being this poor little woman who's helpless, giving him a puppy dog eyes
"Fuck this stupid heart! The fuck is going on with me?"
He cussed under his breath when two sets of green shining eyes stared at him
He sighed again
"What do you want woman. Do it and be done with "
He spat in a mean manner, yet the way both of their eyes lit up was priceless
He cussed again when he felt that tug on his eyes
he soon raised an eyebrow at them when they came crawling closer to him. To his shock, both of them settled on his lap, cuddling closer to him
Kana's head was on his chest and Saki was still in kana's arms but mostly on his
The shock left him speachless for a moment and it seems like all those few minutes took both the mother and daughter to fall asleep still in his embrace
"O-oi woman? What are you doing?"
He asked after the initial shock wore off, but none of the females respond to him, he grabbed Kana's chin to make her look up him and sighed seeing she was already asleep
"I didn't know I am so comfortable "
He didn't why, but he let them be
He didn't understand why he was letting them be like this. But just the way she always smiled at him, the way she protected (if you can even say that) it all drowned him to her.
He instinctively brought her closer to his chest when she nuzzled her nose on his neck, he didn't know it felt so good, knowing she trusted him, or why he felt so relieved when he felt her accepting him, neither did he know why his heart seems to skip a beat everytime he heard her giggle
But he'd be lying if said he didn't enjoy her company
She stirred up in her sleep, snuggling closer to him and squeezing Saki to her chest. Her sudden movement made him lose his train of thoughts and look down at her. She opened her eyes, still half asleep, and looked up at him
Sukuna truly half expected her to scream in fear, because he was in his full form, the true monster he was. But she just smiled at him before nuzzling back towards him
That's what it sealed the deal
This woman was meant to be his
His own human
Now looking down at her sleeping in his arms, she looked perfect. In his mind, this was her place. This was where she belonged from now. In his arms, in his mercy
If she'd be the reason to bring him back to this life on being a sorcerer, he'll do it as long as she's happy. As long as she's with him
That night was the night when the king of curses fell in love for the first time in his life
